"Throwdown with Christian"

CJ is a HUGE fan of the Food Network, especially Alton Brown and Bobby Flay. The other day he challenged us to a "Sundae Throwdown" (Those of you who have never seen "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" will have to check out the Food Network website). He decided that Mom, CJ and AJ would be the contestants and that Dad would be the judge and we headed to the local grocery store for the makings of some tasty treats.
AJ's entry into the competition. Her main ingredients were hot fudge, candy sprinkles, strawberries and lots of whipped cream.

CJ's entry for the "throwdown". He chose to use hot fudge, banana, candy sprinkles, peanut butter sauce and whipped cream. I think more whipped cream ended up in his mouth than on the sundae!

The creative process...

The final results of the throwdown? CJ and AJ tied for first place and the judge called Mom's entry "pedestrian". Guess I'll have to work harder next time! CJ has already decided that "we'll have a rematch. How about a grilled cheese sandwich challenge?" I can only imagine what will end up on those sandwiches!
